Catcher In the Rye Lyrics

i love you mister fire
what, i watch the grass grow longer
i love you mister fire
i love you mister fire

the time you spent fucking
and that is true
i love you mister fire
i love you mister fire

i love you mister fire
what, i watch the basterd crawl
in the rabbit hole
i'm the catcher in the rye
i love you mister fire

the time is more structured
and that is true
i love you mister fire
i love you mister fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Catcher In the Rye lyrics by Cabins

lyrics are probably off, i lost the album case with the lyrics in it. but for the meaning:

Leroy Bressington: "Yeah, its not actually about the book, I mean I love the book. But the guy who killed John Lennon was reading Catcher In The Rye, and thought it was about him and part of him. I guess its about people thinking something about them when its not. It’s kind of like 2010’s your so vain."
